If you are a heavy texter this is something that you will love

The Rival is a great messaging device. The keyboard is nicely spaced out and the keys feel good. The overall weight of the Rival is only 124 grams and measures 50mm x 96.5mm x .100.3mm. The good news about the Rival is that it has a 2.2 inch display with a few touchscreen options (keypad and soft keys).... More

Compact QWERTY device that provides users with an abundance of features

The Motorola A455 Rival is a compact QWERTY device that provides users with an abundance of features that won't break the bank.
As the name might imply, the phone is geared to compete with the likes of LG's enV3 and Samsung's Alias 2. I find it more useful to look at this device on its own, though, as... More

The only thing it's good for is smashing it on the ground

This phone is the biggest hunk of junk I've ever purchased. For the first little while, the phone works decently well. But then you run into problems. The "touch screen" will quit working. But don't worry, if you tilt your phone a little bit, you'll start sending blank messages... More

This phone, Ive gone through almost 4 of them now. They are cheap and break easy. If you slide it shut sometimes it shuts off. Sometimes it doesnt send messages correctly. Sometimes it freezes. Its just a mess. My first one shut off and wouldnt turn back on even for the people at the store. The second... More

For the first few months I had this phone, it was great. Easy to use, took good pictures, and was small. then it randomly started turning on and off, it would freeze for hours, the battery only lasted me a couple hours, it sent blank messages, and the touch screen would not work most of the time. I would... More

Hate this phone. Bought it for the features and the brand (our previous phones were Motorolas) Didn't last 5 months before it stopped working. The screen went white and stopped functioning. The Telus kiosk said that they had more A455's sent in for repairs than any other phone. So, we gave... More

So... I got this phone for my birthday about a year ago... I dropped a few time in the first 9 or so months. But since school started, I've been dropping it an outrageous number of times. Today, I dropped while it was on Key Pad lock or whatever and the screen went blank for about half an hour.... More
